The legislature made changes in 1995, after which parents with bachelor’s degrees could homeschool without additional monitoring, monitoring of parents without a teacher certificate or bachelor’s degree was limited to the first two years of homeschooling, and testing changed from annual to grades 4, 6, 8, and 10.

In 1997, the state legislature again amended the state’s homeschooling law, allowing parents to homeschool developmentally disabled students (which was not previously permitted). The new legislation also took the authority to create rules for determining whether a student was making reasonable academic progress out of the hands of the superintendent of public instruction and replaced it with a remediation process for homeschooled students scoring under the 30th percentile. Finally, the law changed the process for obtaining an official high school diploma, moving it from the state level to the local level.

In the years since, the legislature has changed the law so that only parents without a high school diploma or GED receive additional monitoring during their first two years of homeschooling and has added a provision allowing homeschooled students to participate in public school extracurriculars.
